Good Luck Cadel

Still think he has left himself too much to do in the time trial, he will have to dig very deep for this one. Could be his last chance though, getting a little old, has come second, twice.

He played a blinder for sure. Inspiring stuff. Reminded me of Stephen Roche in '87. Watching Cadel cross the finish line tonight will be an emotional moment indeed.

Awesome performance - stage 19 is where he won this and deserved to. The time trial was formality for him ... Amazing grit he really deserved this year.

He's a prick. Not coming to the TDU because 'it would upset his TDF preparations' is about as un-Australian as you can get.

The first Australian to win the tour, and possibly, according to a chat show on TV this morning, the most significant achievement by an Australian athlete ever. There is even talk of making the day a public holiday. Yeah, what a prick.

Apparently, he's a really nice guy too. Humble, a hard worker and is involved in charitable causes. Bloody well deserved win I say.

Must be a 'Strange Town' where he comes from....do you think he has blisters on his feet? Have you only been here for 3 weeks now? Have you got the a-z guide book or are you a space man from those UFO's?
Nice and warm thou!

Re: Good Luck Cadel

Good luck to him but lets not lose track of the fact that it's a pushbike race. He is NOT a hero, he is someone who rides a bike for lots of money. A public holiday :D Says it all about the ridiculous emphasis we put on sport in this country, it's crazy.

Re: Good Luck Cadel

Exactly, did you read the thread ? I'm guessing you didn't. I said he is just a fast car driver, not a hero, he won a race, end of story.
